These are Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, UK, Ireland, Chile, South Africa, Czech, Slovakia, Turkey, Italy and Poland.

The company had been piloting Zomato Book with a few initial partners over the last few weeks such as Summer House Cafe in Delhi/ NCR, Fatty Bao (Delhi/ NCR), Latest Recipe (Le Meridien, Gurgaon), Boveda (Andheri), Francesco's Pizzeria (Lower Parel, Mumbai), The Spare Kitchen (Juhu, Mumbai), GQ Bar - JW Marriott Marquis (Dubai) and Big Brewsky (Bangalore) among others. "Zomato Book is now fully live and we're planning to roll it out across 12 markets this month," said a company spokesperson to ET. in an email.

In April, Zomato acquired US based table management company NexTable in and has been working on leveraging its technology to build Zomato Book.

"We're already getting a very positive response from restaurants that are currently using our table management system. The uptake, however, will vary depending on the market. In mature markets like London, Dubai etc. where users are accustomed to reserving tables we are looking to see an immediate uptake whereas in markets like India we will need to drive consumer behaviour towards the same," the Zomato spokesperson said.

Zomato Book will be rolled out in a phased manner. The company has launched the service in India and UAE and will soon launch in a few markets over the next few weeks. "We are working hard to ensure that restaurants around the world are able to accept table reservations through Zomato - almost half of our sales teams in various countries have shifted focus to this product for the near future," the spokesperson said.
